About Grafton IT

  • 800 supported computers plus Worcester tech and Walpole clinic
  • Working on a Citrix project

Misc. Discussion Items

  • Moving forward, want to hear more about updates from other smaller groups (PeopleSoft, SIS, PowerFaids, etc.)
    • Some of this stuff is covered at ITLF, info is up on a wiki
    • Also make sure Grafton techs have access to the SAT wiki
  • Citrix project
    • Still in discovery phase
  • TechConnect
    • Excited to get on board
    • Not sure how it will work with their existing business processes
    • Working with UIT via TechConnect has been great so far, problems solved and responded to more quickly than before
    • Looking forward to knowledge management so everything is in one central location. ITKB could somewhat help with this.
  • Tufts IT is too decentralized
  • Ability to see virus log files on Office Scan
    ** Follow up with Jim on console access, etc.
  • Licensing questions and information - is there a central location for all of this information?
    • Some information is on the UIT website. UIT is also redesigning the website.
  • SPSS audit is ongoing
  • SAS agreement - can it be installed on student computers for university work, or just on university owned computers? - need to follow up on this
  • MCA is staying the same, select agreement is changing
  • Enterprise agreement - will the XP key still work after July?
  • Making an automated Windows 7 image - Jim/Tom will follow up with David Susco
    • Check the software share for the Tufts image

Update from the Library

  • Library website is separate from the school website, both are looking at Drupal for a CMS
    • UIT will be supporting the server for the library's Drupal site (also the Tisch library on this server)
    • WebComm using Drupal (?), Medical School using SiteCore
  • When does Emerald support go away?
    • It's basically already gone, just best effort support for existing sites, no new sites
  • Student Email
  • Last year students were published in Whitepages too early - Kara is following up on this
